À propos de ce film

A Weather forecast: rain. Action forecast: Hard Rain, the torrential, excitement-swept thriller featuring a screenplay from the writer of Speed and the on-screen talents of Morgan Freeman (Deep Impact), Christian Slater (Broken Arrow), Randy Quaid (Independence Day) and Minnie Driver (Good Will Hunting). The setting is the food-ravaged, evacuated town of Huntingburg, where armored car driver Tom (Slater) is in deep danger. A gang of thieves (led by Freeman) figures the flood is its chance to heist the $3 million Tom's transporting from local banks. But there's one thing the gun-carrying criminals don't count on Tom. Come hell, high water or both, he's determined to deliver the money entrusted to him. But before he does, he'll have to survive a relentless pursuit filled with close calls, ever-rising waters, uncertain loyalties and heart-stopping heroics.

Notes et avis

This movie is one of my favorites from the late 90s. It blends the disaster genre and heist film into one movie. Do not forget about the one-hit-wonder Flood by Jars of Clay which plays over the movie's end credits. This movie holds out as one of the last remaining productions utilizing practical effects and miniatures before the great surge of post-production computer-generated effects at the turn of the century.

All needed resources to maneuver every weather are found in mother nature faithful as can be. It's only that we are often unprepared for each changes, caught up in only God knows what, to be present enough and attentive to the heads up she gives us. No? But what do I know 😗

Just how much water did they use for this movie?
